Advanced Member stusutcliffe Posted December 8, 2014 Advanced Member Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 (edited) When I open the Color Swatch . ( which is actually called color palette in the menu ?) I get a choice of 4 different swatches ...I dont want these ...I would like to make a new one so I can just add the few colors I am currently using. Any one tell me the really obvious answer I cannot see? Edited December 8, 2014 by stusutcliffe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Member Solution stusutcliffe Posted December 8, 2014 Author Advanced Member Solution Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 Figured it out! Delete all in the palette,then save the palette as something else then add your own colours . Strangely, all this seems familiar ...pretty sure I asked the same question ages ago and promptly forgot what I did. Move along....nothing to see here....

Javis Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 It's a bit awkward how swatches are handled at the moment. For what it's worth, you can also create an .aco file and place it into INSTALLDRIVE\Program Files\3DCBUILD\Palette and it will then show up in the Dropdown list for swatches. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Member stusutcliffe Posted December 9, 2014 Author Advanced Member Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 Thanks Javis, I think thats what I wanted to do. ( 5 minutes later ) Ok done that , works fine ...... Just wondering ...how do you just create a new .aco file from scratch? I right clicked and there was no option for that to happen. So I just copied and pasted an existing one then renamed it.Seems a convoluted way to do it. Nice PBR video by the way,looking forward to more.

Javis Posted December 10, 2014 Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 Hey Stu! I agree. It is unnecessarily complicated to make a simple .ACO file. We should probably put in a Mantis report for this. It shouldn't be any more difficult than clicking a "New Swatch" button, done. Thanks for the kind words on the video! I have another one completed, just waiting for it to be QAd by my awesome team of video watchers before posting it publicly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
